"Bang bang bang!" After a few gunshots, several Indonesian natives who were robbing in the shops fell to the ground, and the rest of the Indonesian natives were all stunned. Several Chinese soldiers appeared from the corner of the street and opened fire on these Indonesian natives!
After landing in Batavia, the 31st Division of the 9th Army and the 52nd Regiment of the 5th Marine Division began to clear out the Indonesian mob that was burning and looting in Batavia.
"There are only a few of them, kill them!" After seeing the Chinese soldiers appear, these Indonesian natives were startled at first, but then went crazy. The Chinese are strong, but there are only a few Chinese, and the Indonesian natives on this street are at least hundreds!
Suddenly, these Indonesian natives screamed and rushed towards the Chinese soldiers. In their hands, some people have knives and guns, but many more only have wooden sticks and even farm tools. In front of the squadron armed to the teeth, these Indonesian natives are completely unarmed!
"Hey, hey! These guys who are not afraid of death are here again, pushing up the heavy machine guns, and the light machine guns are also erected! A second lieutenant officer said.
"Yes, platoon commander! You said that these Indonesian monkeys don't have a long memory, this is the first wave, do you really think we can't bully us? A young soldier said with a smile.
Subsequently, a heavy machine gun was pushed up, and three light machine guns were erected. Dozens of Chinese soldiers rushed out from the corner of the street. This change made those Indonesian natives who were hot-brained and charging stunned, and they suddenly felt deceived. Many people wanted to turn around and run away, but there was no chance. Just a moment in time. They had already rushed to a distance of less than fifty meters from the squadron!
"Fire! Hit me hard! The second lieutenant platoon commander ordered.
"Da Da Da! Bang bang bang! Light and heavy machine guns, as well as rifles in the hands of the soldiers, opened fire. Those Indonesian natives, like cutting wheat, fell to the ground in rows. The short distance of 50 meters seems to have become a moat, making it impossible for these Indonesian indigenous roots to cross.
In the face of huge casualties, the courage of the Indonesian natives quickly retreated. The last Indonesian natives, after seeing the tragic situation of their compatriots in front, ran back one after another. Those Indonesian natives who were lucky enough not to die. They also fled. The whole battle, short and clean!
Such scenes are constantly playing out on the streets of Batavia. After the squadron entered Batavia, it directly replaced the Dutch Indonesian Governor's Office and began to suppress the Indonesian natives who rioted in the city. Batavia is the largest city in the South Seas region. But it also can't withstand the squadron's sweeping of such streets and streets. In the evening, the Indonesian mob in the city was cleared. And the Indonesian natives who died at gunpoint in the squadron do not know how many. I only know that on almost every street, a thick layer of corpses has piled up. As a result, Batavia's population has been reduced by more than half.
Indonesian Governor-General's Palace. The Governor's Palace Guards were still holding their posts. Indonesia's Governor-General, Johannes Benedict, was on the lookout in the Governor's Palace. In the beginning, the guards of the Governor's Palace were able to easily defeat the Indonesian attack. However, when the defective Indonesian soldiers joined in, the guards of the Governor's Palace had already suffered casualties. After the afternoon. The Governor's Palace guards had already suffered nearly half of the casualties. This made Governor Johannes Benedict very afraid, if the Governor's Palace was breached by the Indonesian natives, he did not dare to imagine what would happen to him. Good in the afternoon. There was also heavy gunfire from the port area, and Governor Johannes Benedict knew about it. The Indonesians began to attack the Chinese, and the Chinese would definitely not let go of these Indonesian natives, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the strength of the Chinese in the South Seas is much stronger than that of the Netherlands!
At ten o'clock in the evening, Wilt, secretary of the Governor's Palace, walked into the office of Governor Johannes Benedict. With a smile on his face, the young secretary had been worried for most of the day, and now he can finally feel at ease!
"Wilt, what's going on, can we still withstand the attack of the Indonesian natives?" Governor Johannes Benedict asked!
"Your Excellency the Governor, we have won! The Indonesian natives have retreated! Wilt said.
"What? Retreat! How so? Governor Johannes Benedict jumped at once, his face full of surprise.
"The Chinese, the Chinese shot. A large number of squadrons have landed in the port area, and they are clearing the city of Indonesian natives. Now, most of the Indonesian natives in the city have been killed by the Chinese, and the rest have fled. The Indonesian natives who surrounded the Governor's Palace also retreated an hour earlier. It's just that we weren't sure what was going on at the time, and after sending the guards out to investigate, we were able to be sure that the crisis was finally over! Wilt said. He felt a little creepy in his heart now when he thought of those Indonesian natives who were not afraid of death to attack the Governor's Palace!
"Damn, did the Chinese finally make a move? How could they do that? Indonesia belongs to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the Chinese are infringing on the interests of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and this is China's invasion of the Kingdom of the Netherlands! Governor Johannes Benedict said with a frown. Although, he was grateful for the arrival of the squadron, which was equivalent to saving his life. However, this has caused a huge loss for the national interests of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Governor Johannes Benedict had a hunch that this time the last colony in the hands of the Kingdom of the Netherlands might be leaving the Kingdom of the Netherlands. And as the governor of Indonesia, he has a responsibility that cannot be shirked!
"Your Excellency, what shall we do now? The whole of Batavia has fallen into the hands of the Chinese. The squadron that came ashore in Batavia alone numbered more than 20,000 people, plus several thousand more in Surabaya. In the whole island of Java, we no longer have the strength to compete with the Chinese! Wilt said. Now it's a form shì stronger than a person! Most of the Dutch garrisons are still under siege by the Indonesian natives, the recruited Indonesian troops have also betrayed, and the country is still arguing over whether to send reinforcements to Indonesia.
"Send a telegram to General Scott and let his men enter the city at once! The Indonesian has retreated, what is he doing outside the city? Governor Johannes Benedict said.
"Your Excellency the Governor, if General Scott leads troops into the city, I am afraid that there will be a conflict with the Chinese. When the time comes, how will we end? Secretary Wilt was shocked!
"No matter what, Indonesia is the territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the army of the Kingdom of the Netherlands has the right to enter Batavia!" Governor Johannes Benedict stubbornly said!
"Alright then, Your Excellency the Governor, I'll send a telegram to General Scott!" Secretary Wilt had no choice but to stop insisting, and he could only pray that there would be no trouble, otherwise it would be dangerous. General Scott only has 5,000 men, and has been fighting the Indonesians for so long that it is not known how many are left. The Chinese have an absolute advantage not only in terms of strength but also in combat power!
"Wilt, prepare another carriage, go to the port, meet the Chinese, and see if there is room for relaxation!" Governor Johannes Benedict said.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor!" Secretary Wilt guessed the intentions of Governor Johannes Benedict. Although he thought that His Excellency the Governor was just delusional, he also knew that His Excellency the Governor had no choice! His Excellency the Governor has to think about his own future, and if he can get the Chinese to give up his ambitions for Indonesia, then he may be able to maintain his position. But, no matter how you look at it, it's impossible! The Chinese's ambitions for Indonesia are not a day or two, and now, they are only one step away from eating this piece of fat in their mouths, how can they give up at this time?
"Da, da!" The crisp sound of horses' hooves resounded in the streets. The carriage had run over the stiffened corpses, making Governor Johannes Benedict and Secretary Wilt, sitting inside, feel a little bumpy. There is no way to do it, the streets are full of corpses and severed limbs, and the roots have not had time to be cleaned up, and if the carriage wants to pass, it can only run over the corpses. Around the carriage, dozens of guards of the Doge's Palace were guarded. After all, the Indonesian riot has not been completely suppressed, and the governor has to be very careful when traveling now!
On the way, they met some Chinese soldiers and were interrogated. After the guards of the Doge's Palace identified themselves, they were not hindered, allowing them to make their way to the port.
At this time, the port area is very busy. Large quantities of heavy weapons and supplies are being loaded and unloaded. The Chinese who stayed in the port consciously joined in to help the army load and unload supplies. Among these materials, there are not only supplies for the army, but also food specially prepared for these Chinese. After the riots have completely subsided, these Chinese will have to live, and it will probably take some time before the situation is completely calmed down!
Governor Johannes Benedict's carriage was intercepted by the squadron as soon as it arrived in the port area. His Excellency and the Secretary had to walk into the port area, while the Governor's guards were stopped outside. A junior officer led the two of them into a tent set up on the flat ground in the port area. Here, it was the temporary headquarters of the squadron. General Su Hongguang, commander of the Ninth Army, and Zhou Zhenghao, the Chinese consul general in Indonesia, were inside the tent!
